Kim Danielson realised that the man she got married to—Nathan Pearce, whom she had loved for 10 years - would never love her back. Saddened by the realization, she decided to turn her love and obsession for him into hatred. But everything changed when Nathan's presumed first love returned to take her spot. Would she be able to let go of the man she had loved for 10 years? Even after she discovered the hidden truth behind her loveless marriage.
View MoreKIMBefore I could think clearly, I pulled Gio closer and kissed him. I feel him freeze beneath my kiss. His lip was rigid and cold, but after a while, it began to move. And he kissed me back.I hear Nathan inhale sharply, and the temperature drops a couple of degrees more, but I do not bother to break free from Gio; I run my hand through his smooth, long hair and deepen the kiss. It felt different. The opposite of what I felt with Nathan. I didn't feel any desire pooled down between my thighs, and I certainly did not feel any jolt of electric current. I feel nothing. Phoebe is wrong, I did not like Gio, but I could use him to get back at Nathan. I know it's selfish, I know it's wrong to toy with Gio's emotions. But I already said it. Tonight is not the night for logical reasons. I break free from Gio’s kiss, trying to catch my breath.I looked at Nathan, he looked pale and his eyes were red. Opposite of what I had expected. I expected him to be mad, furious even, but the look of p
KIMI walk to the ceiling-height glass window that overlooks the city below. With Boston at my feet, everything looks peaceful from up here, away from the bustling streets, polluted air, angry drivers, far away from Nathan. Would he even notice that I'm gone? Will he try to find me? The thought wandered into my mind, and I kicked it out immediately. I had promised myself on the way here that I wouldn't think about him and I wouldn't cry anymore.“Would you like anything to eat? I will call the room service.” Giovanni asked. Just about two hours ago, before I called him, I was hungry, looking for Nathan so he could fix me something to eat before I saw something I had desperately wished for the last two hours that I had not seen.Luckily, Giovanni was in Quincy for business, which is just a 45-minute drive to Dover. We met up at Centre Street and drove all the way down to Boston. “No. I'm fine for now, thank you” I said without looking at him.“Okay, if you need anything, I will be
NATHAN I arrived at Boston Logan International Airport by 10 pm. The flight is scheduled for 10:30 pm but it's going to be delayed for another two hours. One of the many reasons why I don't fly public transport. I need to make sure this never happens again. There must always be a bird and a jet on standby in case of emergencies. I sat in the deserted private lounge of the first class. There's a guy three rows behind me to my right. He is deeply immersed in whatever he's doing, typing away furiously like he has a beef with the keyboard. Another couple sits directly behind me. They seem lost in their own world as they cuddle and say flirty words to each other. The sound of their giggling makes me think of Kim. The way she blushes, the way she smiles secretly, the way her eyes convey her thoughts, the way she looks at me with passion, love, and lust. A smile curved my lips at the memories. The couple behind me suddenly went silent, I could hear some weird sound coming from behind m
NATHAN “Where's Kim?” My dad's cold voice had me frozen in a spot.I whirl around to face him, his face looks calm and composed, not for long anyway. “She left,” I said curtly, not wanting to go into details. He chuckled loudly and his voice echoed down the quiet hall. “She left? Or she's missing and you can't find her” Of course, he knew. It's his house, he will always know what is going on every second of the day. “She left…..and I can't reach her. But I'm going to find her”He walked closer to me, standing just a couple of inches away. He is a little bit shorter than I am but he still manages to intimidate me. His lips twitch and his brows furrowed in anger. “I told you to treat her right” “And I'm trying my best,” I replied through gritted teeth. He scoffs. “Trying your best? In two and a half years? Is this all you've got?”“Dad…I'm trying—”“Walk with me,” he said curtly, cutting me off and walking away down the hall.“No, I have to look for Kim”. He stopped in his tracks
NATHAN She captured my lips with hers, kissing me fiercely. But I didn't feel anything. I searched my heart for the hint, for a sign that backed up her claim but found nothing. I'm blank. Unlike when I was kissing Kim, I had a series of emotions I can't control, that I can't describe.Shit Kim!I push her away, and she staggers backwards, surprised.“Sassy stop this! Is this the reason why you ask me to follow you here?” My eyes were cold and distant. She can't keep doing this all the time we met. She can not keep acting Like she desperately wants me when she was the one who left with a word“Nathan….I….do you love her?” “You're not in a position to judge what I feel Sassy. I respect you as a friend, because of what you've done for me in the past. But I'm married now, I have a wife. And I wouldn't want her to walk in on something like this. Don't do it next time, please” I said and turned around to walk away.“She doesn't care. She doesn't care about you”. I stop in my tracks and t
KIMI walked out of the bathroom and ducked my head so no one could see the tears on my face. Damn you, Nathan, damn you!I ran upstairs into my room and shut the door with a loud bang that shook the artwork that was hanging on the wall.I lean against the door and put my head in my hands. What did I expect? He doesn't love me, and he has said that. Why did I dare that bitch? Why didn't I just ignore her and go back to my food? Tears pooled in my eyes, blurry my sight and they rolled down unrestrained, Unwelcomed. I sank to the ground, furious that I had expectations, that I dared to imagine things, that I had hoped that our relationship would become better after yesterday, after the kiss today.Damn you, Kim!I hit the back of my head against the wall, and again, and again, harder this time until I felt the pain. I bring my knees to my chest and fold my arms around it, holding tight as my tears continue to roll down uncontrollably. Stupid, you're crying over spilt milk. My subconsc
KIMThe evening continued quietly. Everyone was busy with whatever they had on their plate. The table was covered in all sorts of expensive seafood delicacies. They all look scrumptious and pleasing to the eyes. No doubt The Pearce Mansion must house a seasonal chef. The food is beautifully arranged like it was only meant for decorating the table, something you see in luxurious restaurants and hotels.Nathan passed me a plate of carefully peeled Alaskan spot prawns, surprising me. I glanced up, and I noticed I wasn't the only one surprised; everyone was looking at us. Could he have known it was my favourite seafood? He wasn't bluffing when he said he knew a lot more about me than I could have imagined. I thought since Sassy was present, he'd go back to his usual self, minding his own business. But he was quite attentive. As soon as I reach out to take plates close to him, he will pass them to me or scoop out some for me.Maybe I was too judgemental. “When are you both going to g
KIMI couldn't bring myself to look Nathan in the eyes after we left the small office. It's almost dinner time and we need to go back home.I touched my swollen lips, still unable to believe what had just happened. ‘Nathan just kissed me, Nathan just kissed me’ I chant to myself, the sound of it so surreal.What the hell just happened? How did we end up like that?‘I know you want this too’ he had told me. I flushed brightly. I peek at him behind my lashes. He is back to his calm and composed self, unlike me, who is still struggling with the aftermath.He said you wanted it, but he never said he wanted it silly. My subconscious mind is at it again, sneering at me.Maybe she needs to be optimistic sometimes, and I need to stop overthinking like Phoebe had said.I took another peek at him beneath my lashes; he was engaged in small talk with the stable manager, and as if he noticed my eyes on him, he glanced towards me, and our eyes met. I look away immediately, feeling colour rising t
KIMWe drove to a private equestrian estate that belongs to their family.When he said let's ride, he was talking about riding a horse. The sport I found the most boring. “Why do we want to ride horses, I don't like riding them” I complained as he helped me fasten the protective gear “I know. And that's why I brought you here” he muttered “Why did you bring me here when you know I don't like riding?” I rolled my eyes in exasperation. I just don't get it“That's your punishment for getting drunk last night,” he said sternly “What? I…I thought—“You thought I forgot?” He asked, cutting me off and I nodded. “Why will I forget? I have been anticipating this since yesterday”, He is smirking at me.Now I'm beginning to wonder what he wants to do here“How did you know I don't like riding?”“I know a lot of things about you Kim”“Yeah, you can dig them out” I murmur, displeased “You can't dig out likes and dislikes of people unlike their personal information,” he remarked “Then how d
KIM I pushed open the big mahogany door that led to my husband's home office, and I sauntered in, taking small steps toward the big curved glass table. I slammed a white A4 paper on the glass desk to get his attention, and I succeeded. He slowly raises his flawless face and looks at me with no emotion. I stare back at him, but on my end, my emotions are written on my face. Hatred, disgust, contempt, anger, you name every emotion you could give someone you hate. Yes, someone I hate! I hate Nathan Pearce to my bone marrow! “Sign the paper”, I said, pointing at the paper I had slammed on his desk a while ago. He looked at the paper and picked it up, making the pen I placed on it fall off and make a clattering sound on the glass table. He read through the paper and adjusted his reading glasses before raising his head to look at me. He gave me a look….. a look of….. fuck! I can't read him; his face is expressionless! I can't even decipher what the hell he is thinking!...
